Abstract
Provided is an ammonia supply device, including: an ammonia supply system; a coupling including: a tube body having: a first opening connected to the ammonia supply system; and a second opening that is mountable to and detachable from an ammonia consumption device; a water supply port formed between the first opening and the second opening in the tube body, and connected to a water supply source (water tank); and a drain port formed between the first opening and the second opening in the tube body; and an on-off valve that opens and closes the first opening.
Claims6
An ammonia supply device, comprising:
- an ammonia supply source;
- a coupling including:
- a tube body having:
- a first opening connected to the ammonia supply source;
- and
- a second opening that is mountable to and detachable from an ammonia consumption device;
- a water supply port formed between the first opening and the second opening in the tube body, and connected to a water supply source;
- and
- a drain port formed between the first opening and the second opening in the tube body;
- and
- an on-off valve that opens and closes the first opening.
An ammonia supply method, comprising:
- mounting a coupling, which includes:
- a tube body having a first opening connected to an ammonia supply source, and having a second opening;
- a water supply port formed between the first opening and the second opening in the tube body, and connected to a water supply source;
- and a drain port formed between the first opening and the second opening in the tube body, so as to mount the second opening of the coupling to an ammonia consumption device;
- supplying ammonia from the ammonia supply source to the ammonia consumption device through the coupling under a state in which the coupling is mounted to the ammonia consumption device;
- closing an on-off valve that opens and closes the first opening after the supply of ammonia;
- closing an on-off valve that opens and closes the second opening after the supply of ammonia;
- supplying water to the tube body through the water supply port, and discharging water from the tube body through the drain port, under a state in which the on-off valve that opens and closes the first opening and the on-off valve that opens and closes the second opening are closed;
- and
- detaching the second opening from the ammonia consumption device after the discharge of water.
